Great fun oven, spacious, uneven heat though
on December 5, 2024
Posted by: Nemil
This thing is amazing so far. First time making neopolitan at home, used sourdough starter for dough.
Oven was left on for almost 45 minutes on full blast but wouldn't get above 715F. After baking one pizza, the bottom was a little underdone, so I lowered the heat on both burners. After lowering both dials the oven some how cranked up to 760F and was rising. Idk what's up with that. Lowering it further then got the temp lower eventually.
Also the right side reads 30-50 degrees hotter than the left side when both dials were at the same setting.
Either way I'm excited to keep using this thing. It's a beast.

Amazing pizza oven
on December 27, 2024
Posted by: Ilge A.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent pizza oven! We use it multiple times a week and the results are amazing. It heats up fast, keeps heat well even for cooking 3+ pizzas in close succession. The size is great for larger or multiple pizzas and an evenly cooked crust.

Ooni Supersized
on January 11, 2025
Posted by: Daniel R.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upgraded from Koda 16. The extra space is a game changer. It makes cooking 12-15” pizzas so much easier and it makes cooking 16-20” pizzas possible. Love the independently adjustable burners on the sides. It does take longer to heat up the oven though.

Solid oven with short learning curve
on January 15, 2025

Solid oven with a lot of space for cooking that reduces the risk of burning the sides of the crust (I have cooked some pizzas with the side crust a little to charred - it happens). It did take me a while to learn how to light the burners consistently but now it's automatic. I have cooked Neapolitan / NYC / and Chicago thin crust on this oven with great results. Other than Neapolitan - to get the crust leopard spots / top done my best results happen when I heat the oven for 35 minutes to get the stones hot - then reduce the temperature to 600 (NYC) or 550 (Chicago thin crust) for cooking. This results in a nicely done top and bottom (crust). My recommendation would be to to purchase the Cover and a turning peel (essential). Also, there are a lot of dough recipes on YouTube that will help you make the type of pizza you want.

Pass on it.

Terrible. I bought it with high expectations. It’s very inconsistent and looses a lot of heat. The cheese and crust will burn and the dough underneath will be close to raw. The stone doesn’t hold heat. Even tried using steel.
Made over 40 pizzas and I can get better results using the generic oven in my kitchen.

Good pizza, middling usability
on February 21, 2025

Good cooking overall but the igniter on one side didn't light with the piezo, I had to light it with a match. Also had about a 50C difference between the two sides.
